Matthew McCabe, D.P.M., M.S.
“Our mission is to improve health through personalized care.”
WHAT IS YOUR HEALTH CARE PASSION, AND HOW DID YOU COME TO REALIZE IT?
I found my passion for amputation prevention as a fellow. During my residency, our focus was on trauma and sports medicine. I was exposed to advanced surgical techniques in amputation prevention as a fellow, and I found a real passion for this part of my practice.
WHAT IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION IN YOUR FIELD?
A podiatrist specializes in handling foot and ankle pathology, and this includes surgical intervention. We can take on cases as complicated as muscle flaps and total ankle replacements, as simple as toe fractures and hammer toes and everything in between. If it has a foot or an ankle, we’ll see it.
WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART OF YOUR JOB?
The most rewarding part of my job is the opportunity to get to know the patients. I genuinely care about the people that I see and their well-being. I’ve learned a lot from them — my skills as a physician have grown exponentially because of our conversations and their honest feedback.
